Shared intentionality, reason-giving and the evolution of human culture [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2022 Abstract The biological approach to culture focuses almost exclusively on processes of social learning, to the neglect of processes of cultural coordination including joint action and shared intentionality.

A Shared Intentionality Account of Uniquely Human Social Bonding. [PDF]
